There is obviously no higher point in the Isle of Man than the top of Snaefell and its usually the high of my photography year too - provided the clouds are not down. There are so many different backdrops to choose and sometimes I end up running ahead of the competitors to get more than one of them.
A few runners go around the west side of the building near the summit while most go east. I had a notion that Lloyd Taggart was someone who went on the west and so after I had deposited a video camera on a tripod right on the summit on Saturday I walked around the west side to take up a camera shot looking down towards the Black Hut direction. In the meantime Lloyd went east and so I missed him.
And when I look back on my photos I see that he went that way last year and the year before anyway. Oh well here is one of second paced man Tom Cringle with Ramsey in the distance.
Such a shame that I missed an opportunity to snap Lloyd in his prime with a prime background. One of my photo low points from a photo high point.
